rl`his invention relates to hair winders and has particular reference toa device which may be used in conjunction with al hair curling rod,whereby the hair can be 5 Wound more uniformly and tightly than has beenpossible by the methods heretofore employed in the process of hairdressing commonly known as permanent Waving.

dfn the present methods of hair winding,

1o the hair is Wound and held in place by the fingers during the Windingoperation so that the unformity and the degree of tightness of theWinding is dependent solely upon the skill of the operator andusuallylltakes considerable time when donecarefully.

Among the advantages of the hair Winder of this invention is that theWinding of hair may be done rapidly and uniformly by a relativelyunskilled operator, and so that the proper degree of tightness isuniormly maintained for each turn of the lock of hair around the curlingrod. This advantage is eiected by a proper degree of friction betweenthe Winder and the curling rod, whereby an even tension upon the hair ismaintained during the Winding operai tion.

Another important advantage of the new device is found in the process ofdressing short or bobbed-hair, in that the Winder maybe left upon thetip of the curling rod after the hair has been completely Wound ,upon itso as to act as a clip for the ends of the strands of hair, thuseliminating the use of a separate clip for that purpose.

The new hair Winder consists substan` ltially of a sleeve adapted tocooperate with a curling rod, and which is provided with 4o -aprojecting member under which the lock of hair is introduced and thusheld between it and the curling rod, and, as the Winder is subsequentlymoved With a spiral motion in either direction along the curling rod,the hair is smoothed as it is uniformly and tightly coiled around thelatter.

For a better understanding of the invention, reference may be had to theaccompanying drawings, in which Figure l is e. Vlw of the hair Winder ofthis invention mounted upon the curling rod, showing the beginning ofthe hair winding operation;

or nger forming a slot under which the lock of hair is passed so as tolodge in recess 3. Collar 4 is slidably mounted upon sleeve 1 andisadapted to t under nger 2 when advanced to grip the ends of the lockof hair in recess 3 when the Winding operation is completed.' As,illustrated in Fig. 2 and by the cross-sectlon in Fig. 4, collar sleevel is provided with a slot into which the guide pins 6 of collar 4project. A spring friction clip 7 is attachedto sleeve 1 and en ages theouter surface of collar 4 so as to old it in position upon sleeve 1.k

The Winder sleeve A1 is fitted upon the curling rod and is provided withan internal spring 10 which is adapted to produce considerable frictionbetween fthe 'Winder and the rod, so that a uniform tenpared in theusual manner, is passed through slot 9 in the end of rod 8, which isplaced adjacent the scalp, and through the slot under hook 2 so as tolodge in tne recess 3 and thus be caught and heid between the top end ofsleeve l and red 8 as is shown in Fig. 1. The operator then rotates'sleeve l With a spiral motion, in either dlrectlon,

and the lock of hair slips thro becoiled around rod 8 in as close ahelix lsaid rod, means upon said ro sleeve for receivin upon said sleeveor gripping the hair to' 5oV or degree ofoverlap as may be desired.

against rod 8 Y,causes the lock of hair to be wound tightly around rod 8when the sleeve l is moved along the latter with a spiral motion andat'the same time the inner surface of the upper portion of `sleeve 1 imfparts a smoothing action to the lock of hair as it is being wound bpressing it a inst rod 8 in the manner i ustrated by ig. 3. The tension`upon the hair may be adjusted at will by varyin the ressure of spring 10u on rod 8. hen t e lock of hair is comp eteI wound upon curling rod 8,collar 4 is s 'd over sleeve l into the osition shown in Figs. 2 and 3',whereby t e ends of the'hair are forced and 'pped in recess 3 and thelock of hair is eld` as wound. The Winder may then be left in this itionupon rod-8 to serve as a clip for hol ing the endsof the hair in.p1aceduring the remainder of the heatin and dressing operation. These hairwin ers are adapted to be employed in plurality,.depend ing upon thenumber of locks of hair to bedressed, and

wit the scope of the appended claims.

I claim:

1. In a hair tion of a man a sleeveadapted to cooperate with the mandreland having a hair embracing portion in the form of a slot,

l-means on said sleeve 'for forcing the hair" into the base of `4theslot, *ami means for holding the last named means lingadjl'istedposition. y

2. Ina hairwinder, the combination `of a sleeve4 adapted to cooperatewithga curlingmember,v means on Y said sleeve for receiving the hair,and a 4device on said sleeve for' grippIing the hair in said means.

.3. n a hairwinder, the combinationv of a rod, a sleeve adapted to coorate with and said the hair, and a device the means. K

4. In ahair wmder, the combination 'of a sleeve clip for holding thehair 1n said receiving means.
